Saudi Medical Journal
Objectives: To systematically review evidence on the prevalence of the JAK2V617F (JAK2) mutation and polycythemia vera (PV) among all blood donors, focusing on those with elevated hematocrit. Although blood donors are generally healthy, considering a preclinical stage of myeloproliferative neoplasm, especially in those with polycythemia, is crucial. Evidence on managing these donors is limited. Methods: We performed a literature search using EMBASE and MEDLINE from inception until August 2023, including studies on the prevalence of JAK2 mutation or PV among blood donors. Eligible studies examined blood donors in hospital or community settings, had a sample size of at least 20 …
Post-Thyroidectomy Hypoparathyroidism: A Clinical Surgical Dilemma, Saad M. Alqahtani
Post-Thyroidectomy Hypoparathyroidism: A Clinical Surgical Dilemma, Saad M. Alqahtani
Saudi Medical Journal
ABSTRACT Thyroid dysfunction directly affects human health and overall well-being; various approaches are available for the treatment of thyroid diseases, including conservative measures and surgical interventions. Despite advancements in conservative treatment, surgery remains the preferred option. Hypoparathyroidism is the primary cause of hospitalization after thyroidectomy, leading to cost-related concerns and a detrimental impact on patients’ overall quality of life. Postoperative hypoparathyroidism can result in hypocalcemia, and these are challenging conditions that must be identified promptly to prevent immediate and long-term complications. This article focused on the presentation, risk factors, and management of hypoparathyroidism to increase awareness of the risks associated …

Objectives: To correlate breast imaging-reporting and data system (BI-RADS) category 4 lesions with histopathology results to assess the accuracy of subcategorization. Methods: A retrospective study was carried out from September 2021 to June 2022. A total of 247 breast lesions were reviewed categorized as BI-RADS 4 using ultrasound (US) and digital mammography. Feature analysis of the lesions were obtained using BI-RADS terminology and assigned to subcategories (4A, 4B, and 4C). Pathological analysis was carried out on tissue obtained through US-guided core biopsy. A p -value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Of the 247 lesions, 135 were categorized as subcategory 4A, 68 as 4B, and 44 as 4C. Overall, 41 (16.6%) had malignant lesions, while 206 (83.4%) had benign lesions. The mean age of the patients with benign versus malignant lesions was (43.18±14.02 vs. 51.24±14.15 years; p <0.001). Mean size of benign versus malignant lesions was (1.93±1.65 vs. 3.82±3.89 cm; p <0.001). Findings were compared with histopathology, and the positive predictive value fell within the reference range for subcategories 4C (>70%). High reliability was observed between the 2 readers, with a weighted Cohen’s Kappa …

Car T-Cell Therapy In Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Alhomidi Almotiri
Saudi Medical Journal
ABSTRACT Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive leukemic malignancy that affects myeloid lineage progenitors. Relapsed or refractory AML patients continue to have poor prognoses, necessitating the development of novel therapy alternatives. Adoptive T-cell therapy with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) is an intriguing possibility in the field of leukemia treatment. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy is now being tested in clinical trials (mostly in phase I and phase II) using AML targets including CD33, CD123, and CLL-1. Preliminary data showed promising results. However, due to the cellular and molecular heterogeneity of AML and the co-expression of some AML targets on …
